According to MLB’s Statcast system, the home run would have gone 451 feet had it landed unimpeded.

DENVER – The Giants continued their slugging ways, and Jeff Samardzija gave his new team a strong start Tuesday night in San Francisco’s win over Colorado. 464 (13-for-28) since joining the Orioles.
However, the trouble Kelly got himself in meant he was up to 116 pitches after just five innings, so he finished his night there with two earned runs on seven hits with five walks and six strikeouts.
When one reporter said he was anxious when Ortiz turned the question on him, the DH – who hit his third homer of the season to go along with a double, Tuesday night – the player playfully shot back. He retired six of the first seven batters he faced and even began a third inning of relief, but you could tell he was starting to run out of gas. Against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, he allowed three runs in five innings.
It’s not totally unexpected that Baltimore (7-0) is hitting home runs and producing at a high level offensively, but being ideal after the first week is very surprising for a club that was.
The Orioles stranded nine base runners against Kelly, including the bases loaded in the second inning, when leadoff hitter Joey Rickard hit into an inning-ending fielder’s choice. The Tampa Bay Lightning host the Detroit Red Wings, who are making their twenty-fifth consecutive playoff appearance thanks in large part to the season-ending collapse by the Boston Bruins.
Orioles: RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (1-0) will make his second start of the season. Johnson gave up a one-hit single to Stephen Drew and then walked Anthony Rendon with two outs before O’Flaherty came in to face Harper in the eighth.
The Baltimore Orioles stayed ideal courtesy of a 9-5 win over the Boston Red Sox, despite falling behind 2-0 in the first inning.
It was the 12th career multihomer game for Hardy and his first since 2014. “Everyone was into it in the dugout, and as soon as he got that hit, it nearly felt like you kind of knew we were going to score there”. He hit a two-run homer off Tyler Chatwood in the sixth and another off reliever Jason Gurka in the eighth.
San Diego lost for the second time in three games, while Philadelphia won for the third time in four games. He was coming off a 10-6 loss Thursday in Cincinnati, where he surrendered five runs in 3 2/3 innings.

NEW YORK – Dee Gordon sparked the decisive rally with a single on the 16th pitch of his gritty at-bat and Miami edged New York to win a much-anticipated pitching matchup that mostly lived up to its billing. Andrew Miller picked up the save as the Yanks move to 4-2 and the Jays’ struggles continue, now losers of five of their last six games. The Mets have dropped four straight. The Rangers left-hander is 1-2 with a 4.29 in three starts vs. Baltimore. He was effective enough to deliver a lead to the Royals’ vaunted bullpen, which followed with four scoreless innings. The encouraging 5-2 beginning to 2013.
